As part of the peace process we are not allowed to gather evidence relating to murders by the ira or examine any of the weapons forensically or examine any of the "disappeared" other than to identify them ,so with most of any evidence unavailable to us it is quite pointless pursuing anyone

Seems a bit odd that this is being proposed given we're currently involved in investigating and prosecuting all manner of people in respect of abuse allegations (some questionable) dating back to the 1960's.

More of a coincidence that Gerry Adams has been linked to a killing
